Grok Bot connectors

Grok Bot connectors tips: Slack, Notion, email, X and more, and why connectors beat browser automation. Work through them to master this part of Grok Bot. Each tip is credited to its creator.

Most popular is ranked by likes, reposts and saves on X, and views and comments on YouTube.

A read-only X Bot that finds conversations worth joining

A Bot checks X every 30 minutes for fresh posts you can add something to, ranks them Act now, Maybe or Skip, and never posts.

How this helps you You see the few fresh conversations where you can add something, ranked, without scrolling, and you keep every reply your own.
Your job is to find X conversations worth my time. You are read only: never post, reply, like, follow or DM. About every [30 minutes], check replies to my own posts, then my watch list [accounts], then search for questions about [topics]. Only pass on posts that invite replies, are under [2 hours] old, have reach (on my watch list, [5,000]+ followers, or already getting engagement) and where I have something specific to add. Rank each Act now, Maybe or Skip with one line on why. Message me only for Act now; put the rest in a morning brief at [time]. If nothing qualifies, stay quiet.

Three email-triggered Bots from the Grok Bot team's demo

Give Bots its email: one reviews your Google Docs from its own Google account, one fact-checks deal newsletters, one logs receipts sent to a plus alias.

How this helps you You get three ready patterns for email-triggered Bots, taken from the team that built Bot inboxes, with the safety rules they designed in.
Set up a routine that runs whenever an email arrives at your [+receipts] alias. For each receipt, add a row to [spreadsheet] with the date, vendor, amount, currency and category, and attach or link the original. Don't reply to the sender. If a receipt is unclear, list it for me instead of guessing.

Find what your audience keeps asking for in 28 days of comments

Connect YouTube through Zapier's MCP server, then have your Bot read recent comments and rank the most requested topics with real quotes and like counts.

How this helps you You plan your next piece from what people asked for, with the evidence on screen.
Read the comments on my YouTube videos from the last [days] days. Group them into requested topics. Rank the topics by how many comments ask for them, then by likes. For each, give 2 real quotes with their like counts and the video they came from. Put it in a page I can scan. Don't reply to or like anything.

Make your Bots read websites with a script, not screenshots

One test: 213K tokens by clicking around, 51K with a browser script, almost none with a plain script. Give your Bots the rule.

How this helps you Repeat website jobs use far less of your usage and keep full, checked data.
Help my Bots use less model work when extracting information from websites, without sacrificing accuracy or completeness. Use this order, stopping at the first suitable method that works: 1) a connected app, if one covers the task; 2) a plain script, for public data or an authorised official data feed, returning only what the task needs; 3) the browser, read by a script, if the page needs a browser; 4) computer use, only for steps that need visual interaction. Rules: check the result against the source and don't shorten, omit or invent anything; fail clearly and report problems before trying the next method; save tested scripts with instructions and checks for reuse; keep context lean with a routine or short fresh chat for repeat jobs; respect access limits and never bypass sign-ins, CAPTCHAs or bot protection; report the method you used and label estimates. Propose this rule for the relevant Bots and routines, then wait for my approval before changing their instructions.

Build a Tesla Bot with Tesla's Fleet API

A Bot that checks your Tesla, runs climate and charging, and asks before it unlocks anything, set up through Tesla's free developer Fleet API.

How this helps you Your car becomes something your Bots can check and act on, with you approving anything risky.
Build me a Tesla Bot using Tesla's Fleet API. Walk me through creating a free developer app, generating a key pair (keep the private key on your computer), hosting the public key on a free GitHub Pages site, and pairing the key with my car. Ask for the client ID and secret through a secure field, never in chat. Always ask me before you unlock, open the trunk or change anything on [car name].

Route Bird customer messages to a webhook routine

Bird's official plugin plus a Grok Bot webhook routine lets incoming Apple Messages or emails wake a Bot that drafts the reply for you to check.

How this helps you Customer messages trigger the Bot instantly instead of waiting for a schedule, and you still approve what goes out.
Create a webhook routine for incoming [Apple Messages / mailbox emails] from Bird. For each event, read the message, look up the customer in [where you keep customer info], and save a reply as a draft in Bird. Never send a reply, refund or booking change without my approval. Tell me the webhook URL and sender key when it's ready.

The fan-out method: three models, one brief

Launch Cursor cloud agents on three models at once and keep the best parts.

How this helps you You compare three models' attempts at the same job side by side and keep the best parts of each.
Go ahead and use the cloud agent and launch three models: [model 1], [model 2], [model 3]. Same brief for each. Once you're done with everything, send me screenshots and screen recordings of each so I can compare.

Tag @bot on X: say "send it to my bot"

Connect Clay and build sales workflows from one sentence

With the Clay plugin, your Bot searches, enriches and researches companies and contacts in Clay, then finishes the steps Clay can't do alone.

How this helps you You describe the enrichment workflow instead of building tables by hand, and the Bot finishes the steps Clay can't do on its own.
Using Clay, build me a workflow for [job you do by hand today]. Start from [input]. For each record, [search, enrich or research steps]. Send the results to [destination]. First check which Clay workspace you're in and how many credits I have, and show me the plan and estimated credit use before running anything.

Ask for plus-addressed aliases on your Bot's email

Your Bot can send from tagged addresses like name+shop@, and a routine on that tag runs only for its mail.

How this helps you Separate aliases keep different sign-ups and senders apart.
Make a tagged alias of your email for [purpose], like yourname+[tag]@. Then create a routine that runs only when mail arrives at that alias and does this: [what to do]. Keep any replies as drafts for me. Tell me the alias and the routine name.

Forward new leads to your Bot's inbox

A Gmail filter forwards leads to a tagged Bot address; a routine on that tag researches each one before you reply.

How this helps you Each new lead arrives with research already done, so your first reply is better informed.
Create a routine that runs when an email arrives at your +leads alias. For each lead: research the person and their business on the public web, then send me a brief with who they are, what the business does, size and location if public, anything relevant to [my service], and a suggested first reply as a draft. Link every source. Do not reply to the lead.

Connectors before the browser

One task got about 45x cheaper by switching to a connector.

How this helps you Using a connector instead of clicking through websites can make the same task much cheaper and more reliable.
Before you start, check whether a connector can do this job. Use connectors first and the browser only for steps they can't do. Tell me which you used for each step. If a step fails 3 times, stop and tell me.

Give your Bot its own email address

Ask your Bot to claim an address so you can forward or CC it, and so it can sign up for accounts itself.

Claim an email address for yourself. Then sign up for [service] using that address, and tell me what you can and cannot do with the account.

Let your Bot ask for the access it needs

Here is the job I want help with. Tell me which tools you need access to, and walk me through connecting them one at a time.
